[QUOTE="Geordie_P, post: 1644250, member: 343949"] Hi friends, I have some binge eating issues, and last night I had crisps, some chocolate wafer cubes and sugary cereal before bed. I was drinking whisky with it, as that usually keeps my blood sugar low (I appreciate as I'm writing this, that it doesn't look very healthy at all). Anyway, I woke up at 4:00am feeling pretty awful and decided to do a blood test. It was 13.9, so not great. I wasn't comfortable going back to bed knowing my blood was that high, so I tried skipping rope for 15 minutes. I did another test, and my BG had gone down to 9.8. That actually seemed like an encouraging drop, so I did another 15 minutes jumping rope, then had a cold shower and waited till 5:00 to do another blood test- it had gone down to 6.7 (thank God). What a dumb night. All my own fault. Now I need to try to go back to sleep for, like, an hour before I need to get up for work. I don't even know why I'm recounting this, but hopefully I can learn something from the mistake, and maybe if anyone reading this has had a lapse or done something silly, you might feel better about it. I suppose what matters is what we do after our mistakes. [/QUOTE]
